VIN: WME4513802K306976

Right then boys, I've managed to have a play today and I so can talk to you a bit more clearly. The misfire is present when the engine is hot, a cylinder drop test confirms its definitely cyl2 that is not contributing. Despite not being able to gather much info regarding 3-wire cop I've eliminated this problem by switching coils round with other cylinders and the fault remains on cyl2, I also did this with the injectors with the same result. Here is a link to my COP waveform anyway just incase, http://www.mediafire.com/view/?faynnc1x0d2im49

I was surprised to see very low HCs on an emission test, 9ppm, when either cyl2 coil or injector unplugged this drops to 0ppm. My assumption with this is there may be partial combustion and the rest of the HCs are being burnt in the hot cat? When i unplug the coil/injector the ECU recognises it and shuts the cylinder down and therefore lowering the HCs??

I've done a smoke test and sprayed brake cleaner around the inlet manifold but found no leak; fuel pressure is a steady 3.2bar at all times including WOT. My suspicions are now with compression but its awkward to get my gauge in there, I will try again tomorrow and failing that i'll have to settle for relative compression. Valve clearances are high on my list now as they are due to be checked at 62500miles according to Autodata and the vehicle is currently at 51000miles. I did consider a timing issue but then Why would it give me a dead cylinder? Maybe the the P0300 is due to timing and P0302 to valve clearances and the two faults together are the issue?? Here is my CamVCrank, hopefully somebody (Peter ) can compare it to a known good please? http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?545bcygkccdycy9

Thanks again
